Abstract
- In stroke patients, upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT) is uncommon compared with lower extremity. Unlike the blood stasis in lower extremity, UEDVT has been developed by secondary cause. We reported a case of stroke patient with repeated UEDVT, presenting superficial venous congestion, who was finally diagnosed with pulmonary adenocarcinoma. The cause of stroke was non-bacterial thromboembolism formed at the mitral valve. Our case shows that unexpected UEDVT should be closely evaluated for higher coagulable status such as a malignancy.
